The range rule tells us that the standard deviation of a sample is approximately equal to one fourth of the range of the data. In other words s = (Maximum â Minimum)/4. This is a very straightforward formula to use, and should only be used as a very rough estimate of the standard deviation.
The standard deviation calculation tells you how spread out the numbers are in your sample. To figure this out for your sample or data set, you will need to perform a few calculations first. You will need to find the mean and variance of your data before you can find the standard deviation.Variance is a measure of how far your data is clustered around the mean. Standard deviation is found by taking the square root of the variance of your sample.ather all of your data. You will need every number in your sample to calculate the mean. 1  The mean is the average of all your data points. 2  This is calculated by adding all of the numbers in your sample, then dividing this figure by the how many numbers there are in your sample (n).
